Seeker and Servant demonstrates the scope of Greenleaf's influence on contemporary religious leadership. These insightful essays examine Greenleaf's core belief that the churches should be the most useful change agents in our society, and they explore how seminaries could play a vital role in energising church leadership. The book details the importance of the development of personal spirituality and how an individual's spirituality is related to becoming a servant-leader within a religious institution. The essays also offer reflections and recommendations on the issue of giving and receiving gifts of money and ask that the larger questions of giving - rather than simply to whom and how much to give - should be of paramount consideration.
